Create Film Roll - greyed out

I wish to create some Film Rolls, to better organize my photos....
As the title indicates the option under File 'Create Film Roll' is greyed out.
As extra info:
I have checked that all ticks are set under Library, no entry in the search box bottom right, and no filter bottom left.
I have recently imported the files, when I first swapped from WindowsXP, and they weren't put into film rolls which I would like to do now!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
To create a film roll you must be in the Full library
and
Have at least one pic selected.
Every pic in your Library is in a Roll, they have to be. Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder.

My purchased films are greyed out

My purchased films are greyed out in iTunes/movies.
Music files are fine.
When I click on a movie I get a pop up as the example below.
The movie “Sideways” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
thanks

Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.

Creating film rolls does not seem possible?!?

I am trying to organise my iPhoto library by creating new film rolls but it appears that it will not let me do it. I select the photos that I want in the new film roll and then click <file> but "create new film roll" is still light grey and therefore not a selectable option. Anyone any clue what I am doing wrong?
Cheers,
Ben

Additionally make sure you are in the main Library and not an album. You can't create new rolls from within albums.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Create Cloud app greyed out after latest Lightroom update

With the recent update to Lightroom (5.6) I managed easily on my PC, but when I tried on my MacBook Pro it downloaded, then froze the laptop. Subsequently the Creative Cloud App has been greyed out. What do I do?

you mean you cannot select your cc desktop app? if so, uninstall and then reinstall, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
if you can select it but it doesn't open or it freezes, CC applications close immediately after launch
if it opens but you see the spinning wheel, App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually

Creating a film roll

I had backed up all my earlier photos to dvd and removed them from my hard drive. Then I got an external drive and decided to re-import them to iphoto6
(some had been from 4 & 5) they re-imported but all to one big library without any film rolls, when I try to group them and create a roll from file menu it (create film roll) is grayed out. How can I create new film rolls?

Gee ---
this problem with not being able to create a new film roll (unless you have all the years in the library checked) has been going around since at least 2002. DUMB DUMB DUMB interface. It is 2007 and it is STILL HAPPENING. I thought is was my new camera (having only had the problem since getting it in Feb '07), but now realize it is not about the camera, but about the iPhoto IF. SIX looooonnnnng phone calls later with Apple Care, a complete reinstall of iPhoto, and rebuild (BY HAND) of all 10,000+ photos, and still it happens. Not one of the Apple Care people knew anything about it, until the "senior specialist" (the 6th iPhoto "expert" I spoke with) looked on the discussion strings.

Unable to select the created Ports(greyed out) in the import manager

Hi ,
We have created some ports with specific Remote system and XML schema's and also assigned the map to it.
The processing type is manual for now,since we want to load data manually using import manager from the Ready folder of the port since PI is dropping the files there.But when I load import manager and select the file type as "Port" and also the relevant remote system ,I cannot select any of the list of ports created ,All are greyed out.
All I need is to select "Port" option ,remote system and use the created port from the dropdown list of import manager " connect to source" step,which i am unable to select as all the port s are greyed out and unable to select.
Any help greatly appreciated...

Hello Arvind,
There is no need to start the MDIS (Import server) if you are importing the data manually.you just open the import manager, login into the repository and select type as XML as per your case and select the remote system (it depends on your requirement) and select the port on which your xml files resides.and enter in the import manager then map you data accordingly and you can import into the repository.
when you want to automate the process for importing the data in repository then you will need to Start the import Server. In that case import server automatically pick the file from the ready port folder and also set the property in console as the processing type is Automatic.
Hope this will help you and clear your doubt.

Creating new film roll

I'm trying to create a new film roll by selecting several photos from an existing roll. I read the help directions that says under file to select "create film roll", however this is not allowing me to select this function on the dropdown menu. any suggestions?

Is there an x beside the word "Library" at the top of the Source Pane? Click the little disclosure triangle so that you can see the year-based smart albums, and make sure that each of those is selected. Then the x will disappear, and you should be able to create a film roll.
Regards.

Creating new film rolls

Somehow all of the roll divisions were deleted from my iphoto library. I'm going back to try and reestablish them and reorganize my photos, but when I select a group of photos and try to create a new film roll under the file menu, the option is not highlighted. I tried to create a new roll before selecting photos, but the option is still not highlighted. Any ideas about what could be causing this?

First off: Is the View Menu -> Film Rolls item checked?
To create Film Rolls you must have the entire Library available. So, all the years under the word Library much be checked, plus you must have at least one pic selected.

Some film rolls are named "originals" - why?

I'm still a fairly new user of Macs as well as anything like iPhoto. For quite some time, I only imported my photos into iPhoto for fear of breaking something.
Well, I'm getting over that fear, and I have noticed that some of my film rolls have a name of "orignals", but some (which do have edited photos in them) don't have that name.
This might be due to some photos possibly being imported more than once (again, possibly from concerns to be certain I could back up my photos), but I'm not 100% certain of that. Is it possible to either get rid of these rolls (but not delete the photos), or to completely rebuild my iPhoto library, without loosing the edits, and metadata I've already configured?

Hi Lew,
At one time you probably used the "add to library" and pointed to another iPhoto Library folder to import.
If you did that, then what you would get is:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
So, if you don't want the images that are in the Original rolls, as they are the originals of edited or rotated images, then just delete them. If you still want a copy of them for safe keeping then drag the images or the roll called Originals out of the iPhoto library window to your desktop, then delete the roll within iPhoto. You can burn the ones to disc on your desktop if you'd like.
Or:
you can combine images from that roll to another roll with the edited images in them if you like.
To create a new film roll, command click each image or roll of images or combination of both, then go to File>create film roll.
This will create a new film roll containing all the images you selected.

Cannot open HFM ( menu items greyed out) in workspace ( weblogic\IIS)

Hi,
Following is the configuration:
HFM on IIS on server1. Port 80
Planning on weblogic\IIS on server 2.
Workspace on weblogic\IIS on server 3. Port 80.
With this combination, I can see planning menu items in workspace and can create an application. But the HFM menu items like "Create app" are greyed out and on clicking throw an error that the module is not configured.
If I run the configuration utility again on workspace server ( server3) and deploy workspace on weblogic\Apache ( changed from IIS to apache) , both planning and HFM are available to me and I can create HFM apps.
My client wants us to use IIS and also we have heard that support for Apache will be withdrawn over time.
Any ideas on how I can use IIS on the workspace server and get HFM to work with it.
Another question is - can I change the default HFM port from 80 to some thing else while running the configuring tool for HFM.
Thanks.

I'll steal my answer from this topic from a prior post.
It's useful to know which versions of the software you are working with. I will assume you are on the latest release.
If you are using a separate web server and application server and are not using Apache as the web server you need to deploy pieces of the Financial Management system. Please read page 52 of the following installation manual: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_manual_deployment.pdf
You can also deploy the HFM Web components directly to the Workspace server which may be a bit easier to setup.
Once you have picked the chosen direction and made changes to HFM you will then need to re-deploy Workspace App Server and Web Configuration.

Add photo to existing film roll

Hi all,
My question relates to adding photos into an existing film roll. I have some motion jpeg movies taken with my still camera that were not imported to iPhoto when the original folder was imported. Don't remember why unless older versions of iphoto did not import .mov files. Anyhow since these movies relate to the other stills in the roll I would like to add them to the existing roll. Forum search and iphoto help didn't turn up any answer. I suppose I could delete the roll and reimport the entire folder, but was hoping for a simpler solution. Thanks for any help.

Hi Jim,
After the movies are imported:
Command click on each movie and roll you want combined to one roll
Go to File>create film roll
From the iPhoto Help menu:
Creating a customized film roll
To create a film roll:
Click Library in the Source list.
Select the photos you want in your new film roll. Command-click to select non-adjacent photos.
Choose File > Create Film Roll.
Your selected photos will be removed from their current film rolls and moved to the new film roll you create.
After you've created a new film roll, you can name it and change its date. Customizing film rolls is one way to better organize your photo library.

Multiple film rolls in source library

Belated thanks to those who helped me create new film rolls (in August!) Your advice was accurate, but my source library shows no film rolls except 'last roll'(although there are many rolls shown on the hard disk). When I create a new selection of photos in a new film roll it simply makes that selection 'last roll' and I can't rename it.

Yes, Film Rolls are very flexible. You can drag selected photo(s) into another roll. Don't release the mouse until the roll header is highlighted, and then the photos will drop into that roll. Command-click to add photos to your selection; that's the easiest way to select photos from different rolls at once. When they are selected, drag any one of them to the header of the roll to which you want them added. Or make your selection and do File > Create Film Roll to bring them into a new roll.
Film Rolls only list chronologically, in ascending or descending order. So if you'd like to tweak the order of your rolls a bit, you can edit the film roll date. It's independent from the dates of the photos, so it doesn't hurt anything to change it.
Have fun.

Film rolls' names??

hi, could someone please tell me how to change the name of a film roll, and how to create or modify one????
thanks
alessandra

alessandra,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First you must view your library in Film Roll view. The entire library must be active, without any filter in place. View > Film Rolls. Then click the little i icon in the lower left corner to open the Info Pane. Select an entire roll by clicking its header. With the roll selected, you can edit its info by typing directly in the Info Pane (not the roll header). You can edit the roll's title, date, and comments.
To create a new roll select at least one photo and do File > Create Film Roll.
Photos can be moved from one roll to another. Select the thumbnails you want to move and drag them to the roll you want them in - don't release until the roll header is highlighted.
To combine rolls, drag one roll's header into another.
If I missed something or you'd like further clarification please come on back.
Regards.

Create New Film Roll feature grayed out

The "Create New Film Roll" feature is no longer available. It is continuously grayed out. Has anyone experienced this before? And if so, how did you correct the problem?

YESSSSSS! Making sure that all the year folders were checked seemed to do the trick. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
